Story Behind The Song
I realize the song has too many Detroit references, but hopefully the "I'm a loser who can't get chicks" theme resonates to an audience wider than Motown.
Song Description
Why be long-winded? It's about being a loser with girls (again I say, Why are all my songs about the same thing?).

Lyrics
Girl shopping at the Motor
Threads are fresh...feelin' fine
Value Village was my coater
So I'm tellin', "What you're smellin'
"Is someone else's hind!"
I slither toward a lady
Dances Cheetah's for her pay
Well I've never seen a soul there
So I lean on over
And this is what I say:
It's OK if you want me for my money
I don't mind; I've been down that road before
Let your Sugar Daddy feed you, honey
It's OK if you want me for my money
It's OK if you want me for my money
I'm cruisin' into Space now
Second wind...better luck
The girls are all on X there
And it gets them in the mood to get down and
(you know what I'm sayin')
Oooo, an angel on my radar
A high-heeled hourglass
I approach with my Diet Coke
And tell her why she needs me in her ass
("I can't believe you just said that!")
Uh...I meant.....life!
Chorus
These gorgeous twins, Sue and Cheri
From the DMC
They weren't takin' home no bacon
From Pianocidal Me
I tried to pour some sugar like
"Who's your daddy?"
But these Leppards both went Def
So the sugar poured on me.
Chorus
